Science writer | Scicomm | Researcher | Passionate about fish and marine conservation

Profile Summary

My previous experiences in biological science are varied. I recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo, Canada, where I was involved in a number of projects related to fish immunology. Prior to this, I undertook my Ph.D. at the University of Regina, where my research answered questions involved examining the effect of climate change on fish physiology during development. My MRES and undergraduate research were more ecology-based but all centred around freshwater and marine biology. Over the last six months, I have been looking to change direction with my career and work as a freelancer. As such I have been gaining experience as a freelance writer. I have been researching and writing articles for several online outlets, that include science content writing and producing scripts for science podcasts.
